2017 was the year in which these digital coins totally skyrocketed and reached the eyes and ears of the mainstream. What before was a thing of nerds and terrorists, is now a broad concept which is growing exponentially every day – with some natural drops in between – as if the sky was not even the limit. I regret having come across cryptocurrencies only about five months ago – as before it was just a name in my head which I had not lost even a second thinking about (“Bitcoin? […]

Remember the song of “Guns N’ Roses”, Paradise City? Yes, when Axel Rose sang in 1987 “take me down to the paradise city, where the grass is green and the girls are pretty”, he was far from imagining that all this would indeed be what every single man, living in the western world, wished to his life in 2017. Green grass, pretty girls. Thirty years ago it was just a cool song, today it sounds like a masculine shout of revolt to bring back the good old days in which […]

As we all know, the nightlife in the so-called western world is long dead, that is why many of us have opted to travel to other destinations which, according to my personal experience, have always given me much more rewards and moments of satisfaction among the opposite sex.

In this new millennium, when a regular guy grows up in any given western city, there are two ingredients which are always present in his everyday’s menu: scarcity and illusion. Scarcity because society tells him that he will never be rich and that he must study and word hard to […]

Before we talk about the present, I believe it is important to go back in time and make a brief history of Deutschland, which is perhaps the European country which has been suffering more changes – politically, geographically and even culturally – throughout times. Without going too back in time, we can point out the beginning of what it is today Germany: first with the end of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806 caused by Napoleon and the French and curiously then with the beginning of the fall of the […]

The time has arrived, my friend. It was not yesterday, it will not be tomorrow, it is exactly now. The world itself has reached a limit state, an edge of decadence in which the rope is totally stretched and there is not a single millimeter to fit another piece of silliness in. This last week I stumbled upon a new phenomenon which is driving the world crazy: The Pokemon Go. Basically, we are talking about an app which uses the Google maps in background and makes people going around like […]
